When do we start to consider Robertson as an important part of the bullpen next year? He's been excellent since he came back up, and in some tough situation against good opponents. Looks reeaaally good lately. Love his arsenal too. I mean… if you figure Jansen, Martin, Schreiber at the rear; Wink a little behind them… then guys like Murphy and Robertson look like they could be really strong filling the rest of that pen. I’d definitely say it is the area there are the fewest questions and highest immediate potential. Jansen Martin Wink Bernardino Murphy Schreiber Robertson Whitlock
That looks amazing, honestly
And while I'm typing this for next year, Rafael Devers reminds us he's an amazing hitter.

Wow! Raffy had no idea — just fought that off. He is a blast.

Prediction: Raffy has a massive year next year. I think he was pressing because of the extension and being the last star standing. Next year, I bet he loosens up and absolutely goes nuclear.

On the Blue Jays broadcast (MLB Extra Innings) they showed stunned fans in the stands just after Raffy's bomb. It immediately reminded me of the looks on the faces of people in another road ballpark just after Raffy hit a HR to the opposite field late.
I think you all know which one I mean. Hint: Toilet.

He's having a "down year" and is gonna end with like 36 home runs and 110 RBI. If we strengthen the line up around him, he settles into being "the guy", I could easily see him having a monster season. He's got the power to hit 45 home runs in a season.

yeah we need umpires like we need holes in our head. Another blown call leading directly to a loss.

Casas and Devers will be the 3, 4 next year they'd been doing that until Casas injury.

Finally got some length from the starters in this series. 18+ IP combined. 6 ER combined. Got swept anyway.

Just saw that we hit .171 in this three game series. Yikes
Second year that we blew a tire after the trade deadline.
Well, that was then - we will see what happens next year

One negative that might matter: Whitlock continues to look pretty diminished. He was hurt by a call, but he was helped by calls, too — and either way, hr gave up a legit line drive single and a bomb.
